The Sombrero Galaxy is an amazing object in small scopes. The galaxy shows an strongly elongated core in a lenticular halo. The core brightens sharply towards a blazing nucleus. The beautiful asterism Jaws (thanks, Demelza, for bringing it under my attention!) can be seen in the same low power field, W of M104. The three brighter stars of the asterism represent his teeth. Jaws appears to bend towards the galaxy. Itâ€™s a funny perspective, but donâ€™t let this sight fool you. M104 is estimated to have twice the respectable luminosity of the Andromeda Galaxy.
